And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will no take that which is thine for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings without cost.

At that time when David saw that the Lord had answered him in the threshing floor Of Ornan the Jebusite,.... The same with Araunah, 2 Samuel 24:16, with some small variation of the letters, and are of the same signification; both signifying the "ornus", as Hillerus (m) observes, the pine tree or ash; see Isaiah 44:14, in whose threshingfloor David...

For the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses made,.... Or ordered to be made by the command of God, and according to his direction: and the altar of burnt offerings, were at that season in the high place at Gibeon; which was four or five miles from Jerusalem, and too far for David to go in that time of extremity; though he must have gone thither to...

But David could not go before it to inquire of God,....

INTRODUCTION TO 1 CHRONICLES 22 In this chapter we read of the place David pitched upon by divine direction for building the temple on, 1 Chronicles 22:1, the preparation he made of artificers to build it, and of matter to build it of, as iron, brass, and wood, 1 Chronicles 22:2, the charge and instructions he gave to Solomon to set about it, 1...

Then David said,.... Within himself, or to some principal persons about him: this is the house of the Lord God; the place where the temple was to be built, hinted at in Deuteronomy 12:5 and elsewhere; the meaning is, here, or in "this" place, shall be the house of God, so Noldius (o), for as yet there were none; but it was now made known to David...

Then David said, This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel. Now he knew where the temple was to be built; and of a certainty he had discovered that long-predestined site of which God said, “Here will I dwell.” This was the very hill whereon Abraham offered up his son Isaac; a hill, therefore, most...

Then David said, This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel.
